Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of electronic communication, and more particularly, to an electronic device. A voice assistant extension device, comprising: a sound capturing module for capturing sound information; a processing module, connected to the sound capturing module, for processing the sound information so as to acquire instruction information; and a data communication module, connected to the processing module, for realizing data communication with a mobile terminal in a wired or wireless manner, and for sending the instruction information to the mobile terminal or for receiving voice information to be played from the mobile terminal. By implementing the above technical solution of the present invention, convenience of using a voice assistant in enclosed space, such as at home, in vehicles and in offices, can be improved greatly, thereby overcoming limitations of the voice assistant, and thus improving user experience of the voice assistant.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A voice assistant extension device, comprising:
 a sound capturing module for capturing sound information;   a processing module, connected to the sound capturing module, for processing the sound information so as to acquire instruction information; and   a data communication module, connected to the processing module, for realizing data communication with a mobile terminal in a wired or wireless manner, and for sending the instruction information to the mobile terminal or for receiving voice information to be played from the mobile terminal.   
     
     
         2 . The voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising: an amplifying module, connected to the processing module, for receiving the voice information to be played from the mobile terminal so as to improve voice effect. 
     
     
         3 . The voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising: a charging management module, connected to the processing module, for providing charging power to the mobile terminal. 
     
     
         4 . The voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sound capturing module comprises a plurality of microphones arranged in a predetermined angle so as to achieve capturing of sound in 360-degree space. 
     
     
         5 . The voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a sound source localization module, connected to the processing module, for achieving sound source localization and noise elimination. 
     
     
         6 . The voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a bluetooth module, a NFC module or an infrared module is adopted as the data communication module. 
     
     
         7 . The voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the mobile terminal is a Siri-based mobile terminal, a google now-based mobile terminal or a cortana-based mobile terminal. 
     
     
         8 . A method for the working of a voice assistant extension device, comprising steps of sending a voice instruction:
 Step  11 : capturing sound information;   Step  12 : processing the sound information so as to acquire instruction information;   Step  13 : sending the instruction information to a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal performs predetermined actions according to the instruction information.   
     
     
         9 . The method for the working of a voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein in Step  12 , further comprising: acquiring instruction information after achieving sound source localization and noise elimination of the sound information. 
     
     
         10 . The method for the working of a voice assistant extension device as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising: Step  14 , voice played from the mobile terminal is played via an amplifying module.
